Pork Picnic Score
Hubby got rained out today and just returned from the store with 4 pork
picnics. They were on sale at $.69 cents a pound! One was about 7.5 pounds, one was about 8 pounds, another was slightly over 4 pounds and the last one was 4.5 pounds. He said, "Score!" and grabbed them. When he went to the register to pay, they took an additional amount off each picnic. We ended up getting about 24 pounds of pork for a little over $14 dollars. Wow! Unreal. Plans are to BBQ (slow cook) one of the picnics this weekend and prepare another one in Hawaiian kalua pig style. We put the other two picnics in the freezer. My jaw is still hanging. Unbelievable! Had to share. kili |

My way you get more bark for your bite. Will have to try that the next time we smoke some butts. I always enjoy the outside of the pork much more than the center. Mary |

I add about 12 oz. of chicken stock (homemade or canned) and add the equivalent of water. I also put in (gasp!) about 1/4 to 1/3 of a cup of liquid smoke. I set the oven to 275 and forget about it all for 3 - 4 hours. Then I do the fork test. If it pulls easily, the pork is done. Kalua pig is always served with cabbage and rice, so make sure you've got cabbage cut up and a pot of rice ready when you're set to pull the meat. The heat of the meat will wilt the cabbage - which is all you need. Have the cabbage finely shredded in a pan and pull the pork directly over the cabbage. When all is pulled, mix the pork together with the cabbage. There should be a good deal of juice involved mixed into the meat and cabbage, so if your pork looks a little dry, add some of the juice remaining in the Dutch Oven. To serve, place over cooked sticky rice. It's so good! It will be dinner tonight. :~) kili |

I've saved it and will try making that later on this month (we're all porked out right now, after Memorial Day and all the leftovers). I loved the kalua pig I had at the luau we went to in Maui a year and a half ago. Mary |

(The luau we attended was held outside one of the big hotels--a Hyatt or Hilton? Can't remember offhand.) Mary |

I just know it smells good. :~) If you ever see a whole shoulder, there'll be the two cuts we know as "butt" and "picnic", attached. The lower part of the pig's leg, like humans and most other mammals, has two bones. Those are essentially the same as the radius and ulna bones in your arm. The picnic, like your upper arm, has a single center bone cognate with the humerous.

In this case my husband may be correct in claiming the lower part of the leg. In any case, it's still taking over 3 hours to cook and it smells heavenly!!!!!!!!! kili |

Sounds like shank. If you look he <http://www.mealsforyou.com/cgi-bin/customize?meatcutspork.html> You'll see a description of picnics and hocks or shanks.

If I've heard about kalua pig before, I probably passed it up because of the liquid smoke, which I'd never used and never thought I would. I took a whiff when I opened the bottle and got the same smell as with canned chipotles, so I knew everything would be fine. ;-) It's such an easy dish to make, and so good that I had some leftovers today for breakfast.

LOL. > I think it will be pork stir-fry tonight. > > kili Funny, I've been thinking the same thing. :-) I have more pork trimmings currently thawed. I'm thinking of thin slicing them and stir frying them with mushrooms and brocolli, and I'll pressure cook some baby carrots to toss in there. Served over rice made with the last of the last batch of shrimp stock, add peas, garlic, lemon pepper, fresh ginger and garlic, then a bit of oyster sauce to top it all off with teryaki sauce since I am out of shoyu... I have some ready to eat frozen shrimp in the freezer too that I could add along with some scrambled eggs for more protein. I'll skip the rice for my portion and just let dad have that. And the carrots. <sigh> Wonder why cheap pork is suddenly so available? Not that I'm complaining mind you! -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails.
